The en-suite bathroom features a luxurious clawfoot bathtub. The second bedroom holds a king-size, while the third bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed. There are two full bathrooms. One on the first floor has a tub. The second bathroom includes a walk-in shower.
OUTDOOR AREA & AMENITIES Kick back on the front patio as lobster boats pass by on the harbor across the street. The dining table seats four to afternoon snacks. A flagstone patio in the backyard offers a private paradise. Recline under the shade of the gazebo as burgers sizzle on the gas grill. On starry nights, gather around the wood-burning firepit. The front yard and backyard are both surrounded by a picket fence, allowing furry friends to play in the soft grass.
EXTRA PERKS & MORE DETAILS Complimentary Wi-Fi and a washer/dryer are provided. Parking is available for three cars in the driveway. The living room fireplace is available for your enjoyment (the fireplace in the dining area is not operational).
THE LOCATION Located across the street from the harbor, you can walk 1-minute to a serene waterside setting. Rent kayaks for an exciting aquatic adventure. Located 0.3 miles away, the Prospect Harbor Lighthouse is an iconic landmark. Explore beautiful scenery at Corea Heath, a wildlife refuge located just 2 miles from your rental. Or venture 37 miles to visit Acadia National Park.
Take the Katie Grace ferry to Bar Harbor from Winter Harbor. Located less than five minutes from the house, the ferry will take about 45 minutes and the views are spectacular. As you cross the bay, you can expect to see wildlife —possibly nesting eagles — lighthouses and mansions and watch hardworking lobstermen hauling their traps. Bring your bikes!

Summary: Joy Cottage is wonderfully charming and the absolute cleanest VRBO we’ve stayed in. We loved its location away from the crowds of Bar Harbor and its proximity to sleepy Winter Harbor and the Schoodic Path.

Summary: The quintessential New England farmhouse! This property was perfect for us and our two golden retrievers. The fenced in yard was perfect for our girls. Great location close to the Schoonic Peninsula and just one hour to Bar Harbor. This was a perfect getaway for our family.

Summary: We came here for stargazing because this area has a fairly dark sky on the dark sky maps, and it was cloudy and rainy the whole time — BUT!!! This home was wonderful, warm, cozy and comfortable. A terrific place to come back to after a rainy day hike. We watched movies, played games, completed jigsaw puzzles, all courtesy of the thoughtfulness of the home owner. A wonderful, charming home. Thank you for the many nice touches!

Summary: Adorable home in Prospect Harbor. The boys had as much fun playing hide and seek in the yard as they did exploring Acadia.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cottage was immaculate. We wish it wasn't so far from Bar Harbor and Acadia, but it was manageable. It is technically waterfront, but we could not walk over to the water because we could not cross the large expanse of private property that was between us and the water. Otherwise, the house was very attractive, the furniture was comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked. The stairs to the second floor were a bit challenging and not for people with mobility problems. However, there is a bedroom and full bath on the first floor. All in all, very nice place.

Summary: The property was very nice and it was good to have the fenced yard for our dog and an outdoor area for sitting. We would like to have been closer to Acadia and Bar Harbor.
